How are norms challenged by disabilities?
This 9th conference aims to discuss the construction of normality and, more broadly, the system of thought that structures our societies in which being “able” is the norm in the sense of both the most widespread and the most desirable situation. The aim of this critical perspective is therefore to highlight how our societies are structured in relation to the notion of the able individual. While the recent call to build inclusive societies would appear to herald a radical turning point, what is the reality? Have we truly finished with representations of disability that tend towards the negative, the defective or even the tragic? To what extend are the “heroized” figures of disability, omnipresent in the public space, perpetrating the representation of disability as a deviation from the norm?

This event hopes to further discussions on the role of the State in the implementation of public health policies. We will also look into the responses given to these policies, whether they are judged too interventionist (denouncing dispossession of knowledges described as traditional) or insufficient (demanding for comprehensive and equitable care). We seek to to analyze the changes coming from the "left hand" of the State, in the contemporary neo-liberal framework, its genesis and its historical counter-examples. After a first day of sessions dedicated to scientific presentations, in a multidisciplinary framework open to all social sciences, the symposium also aims to open a space for exchanges with civil society. We would also like to take into account the international circulation of notions – as expressed by the phrase "obstetric violence", which both owes much to Latin American spaces and have had its meaning changed through such circulations.

Disability, an operator to question norms?
Cette IXe conférence propose d’interroger la construction de la normalité et, plus globalement, le système de pensée qui structure nos sociétés, selon lequel être « valide » serait la norme, au double sens de la situation la plus répandue et la plus souhaitable. Cette perspective critique entend ainsi mettre en évidence la manière dont nos sociétés sont structurellement construites en référence à cette figure de l’individu valide. Si l’injonction récente à construire des sociétés inclusives semble signaler un tournant radical, qu’en est-il concrètement ? En a-t-on réellement fini avec les représentations tendanciellement négatives, défectives, voire tragiques, du handicap ? Cet appel à communications s’adresse à tous ceux et celles qui sont engagé·e·s dans les recherches en sciences humaines et sociales sur le handicap et la perte d’autonomie.

Health from an environmental perspective: public policies and citizen mobilisation
Issue 19 of the journal Amnis proposes to address this connection between health and the environment. In addition to the fact that the recent fire at the Lubrizol chemical storage plant in Rouen on the night of 25–26 September 2019 confirms the importance of this topic (which was decided on four months ago), there are three good reasons why Amnis should examine the impact of the environmental crisis on health. First, tackling this subject gives the journal the opportunity to continue its reflection on the key political and social questions facing contemporary societies. Second, the subject lends itself particularly well to multidisciplinary interpretations, which Amnis has been committed to encouraging since its creation. Third, the principle of social responsibility in research, which has always inspired its various contributors, can be showcased with this subject. The aim will be to take an objective look at the issues associated with the impact of the environmental crisis on health within a context in which public discourse tends to blur the boundaries and delegitimise the types of action taken by some social actors.

Fecundity and birthing in the Cameroon and Africa from yesterday to tomorrow
Perceptions, practices and changes
Donner la vie ! C’est un acte multimillénaire qui entretient la perpétuation des êtres sur la terre. La fécondité humaine est donc au cœur de la présence continue de l’homme dans le cycle de la vie. La fécondité, élément qui rend possible la grossesse, entraine à son tour l’accouchement. Malgré que l’accouchement soit un acte naturel, il n’en demeure pas moins qu’à travers le temps et l’espace, les hommes aient développé des rites, des savoirs, des connaissances s’élevant au stade de science pour comprendre les mécanismes, les contraintes et les exigences de la conception et de la mise au monde de l’enfant.

4th Franco-Latino-American research conference in disability
Le réseau franco-latinoaméricain de recherche sur le handicap, l'équipe de recherche « Participation sociale et villes inclusives » (PSVI) et le réseau international sur le processus de production du handicap (RIPPH) organisent conjointement le IVe colloque franco-latino-américain de recherche sur le handicap à l'université de Laval, au Québec, du 25 au 27 juin 2020. Ce colloque est intitulé « Quelles sociétés du vivre-ensemble ? Réfléchir sur les expériences d'inégalités, de participation sociale et les processus identitaires ». Nous invitons les participants à discuter des dynamiques de participation ou d'exclusion des personnes en situation de handicap avec trois thèmes non exclusifs : les pratiques sociales liées à la transformation et à l'utilisation des espaces territoriaux ; les formes d'appartenances des personnes en situation de handicap à un espace social et/ou territorialisé ; la complexité des rapports de pouvoir.

In the Shadow of the Petrochemical Smokestack. Chemical Corridors and Environmental Health
This conference endeavours to study chemical industries that use fossil fuel derivatives. It will focus on these industrial activities’ environmental and health effects on surrounding areas and local populations. In the 20th century, petrochemical activities shaped their surrounding areas. Not just because such facilities required massive ancillary infrastructure networks to be built, but also because they enabled the production of new substances requiring coal and oil derivatives. As soon as petrochemical facilities were brought on stream, their harmful effects on local communities were perceptible. These industrial activities were rapidly accused of causing health problems for workers and neighbouring populations alike. Conflictuality was generally latent but sometimes broke out in overt violence, especially when highly visible “industrial spillovers” occurred, abruptly putting the spotlight on previously-unnoticed chronic pollution. Up to the present day, this conflictuality can also be vehemently expressed when deindustrialisation breaks the unspoken agreement that may have existed between workers and the companies that paid their wages. When an industrial activity ends, its ecological and health effects may become apparent, fuelling the resentment of the affected local populations and giving rise to activist movements that sometimes draw on revived memories of past disasters.

Oran - social changes and urban dynamics
L’idée d’un ouvrage sur Oran répond à un besoin évident. Agglomération millionnaire, ville métropole, deuxième ville d’Algérie en nombre d’habitants, ville méditerranéenne par excellence, son essor, son dynamisme et ses mutations interrogent à plus d’un titre. Expression des mutations de la société algérienne, Oran peut être considéré comme un laboratoire des changements sociaux.

The role of health and social welfare policies in European inclusion and exclusion processes
Health risks created by population movement, and policy responses to them, have been an integral part of European history since the early modern period. They have helped to shape wider cultural ideas on economic risks, attitudes to integration, and enlargement of the EU. Twenty first century Europe is addressing new questions and challenges: how to live together, and include new territories and new populations and cultures without compromising our health, both personal and economic. These have contemporary policy implications. Our aim is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the cultural heritages and roots of the European welfare model.

Frontiers, health territories and care networks
En 2007, l’université d’Artois organisait un colloque intitulé Frontières et santé – Genèses et maillages des réseaux transfrontaliers (Moullé, Duhamel, 2010). Dix ans plus tard, une nouvelle rencontre scientifique est envisagée. En effet, le sujet, auparavant marginal, se trouve à présent au cœur de l’actualité : il préoccupe les organisations et les acteurs du secteur de la santé tout autant que les opérateurs du transfrontalier et les institutions européennes. La production scientifique est, pour l’instant, relativement hétérogène.

Call for papers - Ethnology, anthropology
The hospital - towards a new anthropology of clinial worlds
Anthropologie et santé journal
Ce numéro spécial d’Anthropologie et Santé à venir propose de revisiter l’institution hospitalière dans le monde, comme objet anthropologique et comme site emblématique à travers lequel se cristallisent les enjeux liés à l’économie politique et morale de la santé publique contemporaine. Les coordinatrices, Fanny Chabrol et Janina Kehr, invitent des contributions qui abordent de manière ethnographique des hôpitaux sous l’angle des enjeux politiques, économiques, moraux et scientifiques contemporains qui s’y manifestent, s’enchevêtrent et se contredisent.

A socially and geographically situated bricolage
Treating oneself is a controversial practice: scorned in the name of the health risks it runs, self-treatment may also be praised in the name of the independence it expresses. The messages of public health authorities are at the heart of the controversy, emphasizing risk one moment and their potential for patient responsibility the next. Such contradictory injunctions also affect the practices of care providers. The conference has chosen to allow comparisons and confrontations between these various disciplinary approaches as well as distinct research field sites (North/South, North/North, South/South). These practices and their determinants have to be more finely mapped and analyzed to put these analyses – by definition always partial, and theoretically, historically, and geographically situated – in perspective.
